Tyres & 3D Wheel Alignment Gladstone & Calliope
Tyre supply, fitting, balancing, puncture assessment and advanced 3D wheel alignment for cars, 4WDs, utes and light commercial vehicles.
Total Mobile Mechanical Services can inspect the tyres, steering, suspension and wheel alignment through one business.
This is important because uneven tyre wear may be caused by alignment settings, worn components, incorrect pressure, loading or the tyre itself.
Tyre Supply and Fitting
Tyres must suit the vehicle, wheel size, load rating, speed rating and intended use.
Our tyre services include:
- Tyre supply and fitting
- Wheel balancing
- Tyre rotation
- Tyre-condition and wear assessment
- Puncture assessment and suitable repairs
- Valve replacement where required
- Tyre-pressure checks
- Advice on highway, all-terrain and mud-terrain options
A puncture can only be repaired when its location and the internal condition of the tyre make repair appropriate.
Advanced 3D Wheel Alignment
Our 3D wheel-alignment equipment measures wheel angles and helps identify alignment conditions affecting steering position, vehicle tracking and tyre wear.
Wheel-alignment services include:
- Front and four-wheel alignment where applicable
- Toe, camber and caster measurement
- Steering-wheel position correction
- Alignment after suspension or steering repairs
- Alignment checks after fitting suitable 4WD suspension upgrades
- Assessment of pulling, wandering and uneven tyre wear
Available adjustments depend on the vehicle’s suspension design and the condition of its components.
Uneven Tyre-Wear Diagnosis
Common causes of tyre wear include:
- Incorrect wheel alignment
- Worn suspension bushes or ball joints
- Loose steering components
- Incorrect tyre pressure
- Wheel imbalance
- Damaged wheels or tyres
- Vehicle load and towing conditions
- Ride-height changes or suspension modifications
If mechanical wear is present, completing an alignment without repairing the movement may not provide a lasting correction.
Related repairs are available through our suspension and steering page.
4WD Tyres and Alignment
Four-wheel drives may require tyre and alignment choices based on towing, load carrying, highway use, off-road travel and suspension modifications.
We can assist with:
- All-terrain and mud-terrain tyre options
- Load-suitable tyre selection
- Alignment following suspension changes
- Steering and suspension inspections
- Tyre-wear assessment after off-road use
- Wheel balancing and vibration investigation
For suspension packages and other modifications, visit our 4WD upgrades page.
Caravan, Trailer and Selected Commercial Tyres
Tyre work for caravans, trailers and larger commercial vehicles is assessed according to the vehicle, wheel, tyre and workshop requirements.
Contact us with the tyre size and vehicle details so we can confirm whether the job can be completed with our available equipment.
